ABSTRACT:
A circuit for matching the impedance of a first array of transistors to an external resistor is used to produce a first set of control signals. This first set of control signals is used to control another array of transistors to replicate the impedance of the first array of transistors. This replicated impedance is then used by another circuit for matching impedance to produce a second set of control signals that control an array of transistor of a different type to match the impedance of the first two array. The two sets of control signals may then be used as calibration signals for the pull-up and pull-down transistors of multiple output drivers.
